Wolf Hall: Damian Lewis is a sinister Henry VIII in new BBC trailer

A new trailer for the BBC adaptation of Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall has been released, showing Damian Lewis as a sinister Henry VIII.

The Homeland actor stars alongside Mark Rylance’s Thomas Cromwell in the upcoming six-part series, based on the Booker Prize-winning novel of the same name and sequel Bring Up The Bodies.

Directed by Peter Kosminsky with a screenplay by Peter Straughan, the story follows Cromwell’s rise from humble blacksmith’s son to the Tudor monarch’s closest advisor.

“Now is the time for you to become the king you should be,” Cromwell tells Henry in one scene.

“I keep you because you’re a serpent,” is his ominous reply. “Everything that you are, everything that you have, will come from me.”
